What I've been up to

 Hello friends

I know my posts have been quite sparse of late, so I wanted to update you on what's been happening and the likely changes to this blog in the coming weeks.

Most of my time recently has been spent updating my database of gathered information on the minor planets. It's a project close to my heart, albeit still in its novitiate so far. It may well take up a good many years in the future, insofar as such lengths of time can be foreseen.
